We continue our Throwback Review Vader Week with 1999’s Flashback Darth Vader with Lightsaber.  Somehow the inclusion of the lighsaber was worth marketing on the package.  This is Hasbro’s follow up to 1998’s removable helmet Darth Vader and you know what they say.  The sequel is never as good as the original.

The POTF ‘85 Yak Face figure was already a legendary collector piece when the modern line launched in 1995.  Two years later when it’s ONLY modern counterpart arrived on the scene, it was greeted with the Price Is Right fail horns.  We examine this unfortunate plastic effigy for today’s Throwback Review.

Julian57 from our forums posed a simple question.  How easily can the unfortunate head of the just released 6” Death Star II Luke be swapped with the head of the previously released Bespin fatigues Luke Skywalker?  Click through for the results.  It makes a world of difference.

As the new Black Series 6” Sandtrooper Sergeant eludes me, we are forced to look at a figure from days gone by.  For today’s Throwback Review we consider 2006’s Saga Collection Princess Leia in Boushh disguise.
